Personal Information

I have been interested in the Pacific Northwest since I was a child, because of my love for the landscape and music. When I learned that Washington's educational programs are some of the best, most advanced health care systems in the country, I knew it was the right fit for me and my family.
When I'm not caring for patients, I'm spending time with my family outdoors, listening to rock music and watching films.

All doctors in this infectious disease office explained conditions, treatments and what we needed to do in a plain and simple language which we understood. Dr. Zea also showed us the comparison of CT scan results (before and after treatment).

After he told about the treatments and which is the best. He let me think about it over the weekend and I gave my answer through the portal.
